Healthcare Purchasing News exclusively has recognized and honored Supply Chain and Central Service/Sterile Processing and Distribution (SPD) departments for decades as foundational to a healthcare organization’s ongoing operations and success. HPN also added awards for Surgical Services departments with supply chain expertise and for Value Analysis teams to be part of HPN’s Hall of Fame, too.
But what helps all these groups succeed within their respective provider organizations? Superb customer service from their dedicated and devoted suppliers!
Might your company’s customer service efforts be worthy of recognition? You won’t know unless you share your case studies, examples and success stories for HPN's 2023 Supplier Customer Service Done Right Award to be featured in the December 2023 edition of the magazine!
